AfterHVAC Company in Plantation, FL
Meadowsweet Heating & Air is an HVAC company serving Plantation, FL with AC repair, furnace repair, and AC installation. Plantation jobs run differently because the city’s housing stock is almost entirely CBS construction from the 1960s through 1980s, with ductwork that has spent decades baking in attics that hit 130°F in summer. The inland location, roughly 12 miles from the Atlantic, means no sea-breeze relief and humidity that never quits. If your air handler is struggling in a 40-year-old attic or your slab ductwork is making rooms clammy, call us at (747) 966-3037.
Why Plantation Homes Are Different
Plantation was one of Florida’s first large-scale master-planned communities, developed almost entirely between the late 1950s and mid-1980s under Frederick Peters’s framework. That history matters for HVAC. The city has an unusually dense, same-generation housing stock: CBS walls, attic-mounted horizontal air handlers, and flex duct that has been degrading in extreme heat for four to six decades. In neighborhoods like Jacaranda, Plantation Acres, and the mid-century sections near NW 7th Street, we regularly see the original undersized duct layouts that were engineered for 2.5-ton systems. Those same ducts are now being asked to carry 4- and 5-ton replacement units, which creates static pressure problems and uneven room-to-room cooling that homeowners often misdiagnose as equipment failure. The oldest homes near Broward Boulevard, built in the late 1950s and early 1960s, frequently have perimeter-loop duct systems running through or beneath the slab. That configuration corrodes and leaks over time, and it causes persistent humidity complaints even when the equipment above it is running fine.
Then there is the moisture. Plantation’s western boundary abuts Everglades conservation wetlands, which feed a standing reservoir of humidity into the area. Combined with the inland heat, that pushes latent moisture loads higher than what coastal HVAC techs in Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood typically see. Clogged condensate drain lines are the single most frequent emergency call we get in Plantation, and mold remediation around air handlers is a close second. A system here has to work harder to pull moisture out of the air, and older equipment simply was not sized for that duty cycle.
Our Main Plantation Services
The two calls we answer most from Plantation homeowners are emergency AC problems during the summer and full-system replacements in homes where the original ducts can no longer keep up. Each service has its own Plantation page with local pricing, what the job involves here, and what to expect from the crew.
AC Repair in Plantation
When a condenser stops cooling at 3 p.m. in July, you need someone who knows Plantation homes. Most AC repair calls here come down to one of three things: a clogged drain line from the constant Everglades humidity, a failed capacitor from years of long summer duty cycles, or a refrigerant leak in a system that has been pushing against undersized ducts for years. Our technicians arrive with the parts to handle common failures on Goodman, Rheem, York, and Daikin equipment, plus the training to spot when the real culprit is not the unit at all but the 50-year-old duct layout feeding it. Repair pricing in Plantation runs $150-$650, and you get a written price before anything gets taken apart. See the full breakdown on our AC Repair in Plantation page.
Furnace Repair in Plantation
South Florida furnaces do not get the workout that heaters up north do, but when a cold snap hits in January, Plantation families still need warm air. Most furnace repair work we do in Plantation is on electric heat strips and heat pump backup systems, not gas burners, and the failures tend to be electrical: sequencers, limit switches, and blower motors that have sat unused since the previous winter. Humidity also gets into unused furnace cabinets and causes corrosion on control boards. Furnace repair in Plantation typically runs $150-$700, and we carry the common replacement parts for Rheem, Goodman, York, and Daikin on the truck. Details are on our Furnace Repair in Plantation page.
AC Installation in Plantation
A full AC installation in Plantation is rarely a simple swap. Because so many homes in Jacaranda, Plantation Acres, and the older sections near Broward Boulevard are working with original duct runs sized for much smaller systems, the right job often includes a duct-load calculation before any equipment gets ordered. That step tells us whether a 3-ton replacement can breathe through existing ductwork or whether the home needs a duct resizing to make the new system actually deliver even cooling. AC installation in Plantation runs $3,500-$7,500 depending on system size, SEER rating, and duct scope. The full breakdown, including what is covered and what to ask about, is on our AC Installation in Plantation page.

Pricing for HVAC Company in Plantation, FL
Here are the market-calibrated price ranges we use for Plantation work. You will get an exact written quote before any job starts, so there is no guessing.
| Service | Typical Range in Plantation |

| Furnace repair | $150-$700 |
| AC installation | $3,500-$7,500 |
| Tune-up | $80-$200 |
What pushes a Plantation job toward the top of a range is the age of the home and the condition of the ducts. A 1980s CBS house with original flex duct and a slab-loop system will cost more to make right than a 2000s home with accessible, properly sized ductwork. Whatever the number, you get it in writing before any work begins.

"Furnace tune up before winter. He was careful going in and out, closed the gate behind him every time because of the kids, and cleaned up the work area completely. Calm, thorough guy."
- Marcus Pell"Comfortable in every room now, and not a trace that a crew had been here. Booties, drop cloths, the works. They even wiped down the thermostat they'd handled. Really considerate."
- Lamar Finch"New system install. They protected the hallway floor all the way to the attic and vacuumed after. Worked quietly around my work calls. Not a trace left behind."
